Module 2: Introduction to Computer Vision

Introduction to Computer Vision


Computer Vision is a field of artificial intelligence that enables computers to interpret and
make decisions based on visual data from the world. It combines techniques from computer
science, mathematics, and engineering to process and analyze images and videos.

What is Computer Vision?


Computer Vision involves the automatic extraction, analysis, and understanding of useful
information from a single image or a sequence of images. It includes methods for acquiring,
processing, analyzing, and understanding digital images to enable machines to perform tasks
that typically require human vision.

Key Applications
 Image Recognition: Identifying objects, people, places, and actions in images. Used in
social media tagging, content moderation, and photo organization.

them. Essential for autonomous driving and surveillance systems.
 Image Segmentation: Partitioning an image into meaningful segments to simplify
analysis. Used in medical imaging and scene understanding.
 Face Recognition: Identifying or verifying a person from a digital image. Used in
security systems, smartphones, and social media.
 Optical Character Recognition (OCR): Converting different types of documents
into editable and searchable data. Used in digitizing printed texts.
 Augmented Reality (AR): Overlaying digital content on the real world. Used in gaming,

navigation, and interactive learning.

13 | P a g e
22BQ1A6138

Key Concepts and Techniques Image


Processing
Image processing involves manipulating pixel data to enhance or extract information.

Common techniques include:

-Filtering: Removing noise or enhancing features using convolutional filters.

 Edge Detection: Identifying the boundaries within images using algorithms like Canny
or Sobel.
 Thresholding: Converting grayscale images to binary images by setting a threshold value.

python
import
cv2
import numpy as np

from matplotlib import pyplot as


plt # Load image
image = cv2.imread('example.jpg', 0)
# Apply Canny edge detection
edges = cv2.Canny(image, 100, 200)
# Display edges
plt.imshow(edges, cmap='gray')
plt.title('EdgeImage')
plt.show()

Feature Extraction
Features are distinctive elements in an image. Techniques include:

 SIFT (Scale-Invariant Feature Transform): Detecting and describing local features.

 HOG (Histogram of Oriented Gradients): Describing the structure or the shape of an


object.

Machine Learning in Computer Vision


Machine learning techniques, especially deep learning, have revolutionized computer
vision. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are particularly powerful for image-related
tasks.

14 | P a g e
22BQ1A6138

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs)


CNNs are designed to automatically and adaptively learn spatial hierarchies of features from
input images. They consist of layers like convolutional layers, pooling layers, and fully
connected layers.
Python
from tensorflow.keras.models import Sequential

from tensorflow.keras.layers import Conv2D, MaxPooling2D, Flatten, Dense

# Create a simple CNN model


model = Sequential([
Conv2D(32, (3, 3), activation='relu', input_shape=(64, 64, 3)),

MaxPooling2D((2, 2)),

Conv2D(64, (3, 3), activation='relu'),

MaxPooling2D((2, 2)),
Flatten(),
Dense(64, activation='relu'),
Dense(10, activation='softmax')
])

Compile the model


model.compile(optimizer='adam',loss='sparse_categorical_crossentropy',
metrics=['accuracy'])

Training and Evaluation


Training involves feeding labeled images to the model, allowing it to learn the features and
patterns. Evaluation is done using metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score on a
separate test dataset.

Transfer Learning
Using pre-trained models like VGG16, ResNet, or Inception, and fine-tuning them for
specific tasks can save time and resources.

# Add custom layers on top of VGG16


model = Sequential([
base_model,
Flatten(),
Dense(256, activation='relu'),

Dense(1, activation='sigmoid') # Assuming binary classification

])

# Freeze the layers of VGG16


for layer in
base_model.layers:
layer.trainable = False

# Compile the model

model.compile(optimizer='adam', loss='binary_crossentropy', metrics=['accuracy'])

Conclusion

Computer Vision is a rapidly evolving field with a wide range of applications


impacting various industries. Understanding the basic concepts and techniques is crucial for

Module 3: Introduction To Convolutions


Convolutions are a fundamental operation in many fields, particularly in image processing
and deep learning. They help in extracting features from data by applying a filter (or kernel)
across the input data to produce a feature map.
What is a Convolution?
A convolution is a mathematical operation that combines two functions to produce a third
function. It merges two sets of information: an input (e.g., an image) and a filter (or kernel),
producing an output that highlights specific features of the input.
Convolution in Image Processing
In the context of image processing, a convolution involves sliding a filter over the input
image, performing element-wise multiplication and summing the results to produce a single
output value.
How Convolutions Work
 Input Image: A grid of pixel values, usually represented in a 2D array for grayscale images
or 3D array for color images.
 Filter (Kernel): A smaller grid of numbers used to detect features like edges, textures, or
patterns.
 Stride: The number of pixels the filter moves across the image. Strides can be adjusted to
control the overlap of the filter applications.
 Padding: Adding extra pixels around the border of the image to control the output size.
Common padding methods include "valid" (no padding) and "same" (padding to keep the
output size the same as the input size).

17 | P a g e
22BQ1A6138

Mathematical Representation
If \( I \) is the input image and \( K \) is the kernel, the convolution operation \( I * K \) at a
specific location is calculated as:
\[ (I * K)(x, y) = \sum_{i=-k}^{k} \sum_{j=-k}^{k} I(x+i, y+j) \cdot K(i, j) \]

where \( (x, y) \) is the position in the input image, and \( (i, j) \) are positions in the kernel,
assuming a square kernel of size \( (2k+1) \times (2k+1) \).
### Example:
Edge Detection Consider a simple 3x3 edge detection filter:

\[ K = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & -1 & -1 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 1 \end{bmatrix}


\] When this filter is convolved with an image, it emphasizes horizontal
edges.
python
import
cv2
import numpy as np

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

# Load grayscale image

image = cv2.imread('example.jpg', cv2.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE)

# Define edge detection filter


kernel = np.array([[-1, -1, -1],
[0, 0, 0],

[1, 1, 1]])

# Apply convolution

output = cv2.filter2D(image, -1, kernel)

# Display the result


plt.imshow(output, cmap='gray')
plt.title('EdgeDetection')
plt.show()

18 | P a g e
22BQ1A6138
Convolutions in Deep Learning
Convolutions are the cornerstone of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), which are
widely used for image recognition and processing.

Convolutional Layers
In a CNN, convolutional layers apply multiple filters to the input image, each producing a
separate feature map. These feature maps are then combined to create a deeper understanding
of the image content.
Key Components
 *Filters/Kernels*: Learnable parameters that are optimized during the training process to
detect specific features.
 *Activation Functions*: Non-linear functions (like ReLU) applied after convolution
to introduce non-linearity.
 *Pooling Layers*: Reduce the spatial dimensions of feature maps, retaining essential
information and reducing computation.
Example of a Simple CNN

Python

from tensorflow.keras.models import Sequential

from tensorflow.keras.layers import Conv2D, MaxPooling2D, Flatten, Dense

# Create a simple CNN model


model = Sequential([
Conv2D(32, (3, 3), activation='relu', input_shape=(64, 64, 3)),

MaxPooling2D((2, 2)),

Conv2D(64, (3, 3), activation='relu'),

MaxPooling2D((2,2))
, Flatten(),
Dense(64,activation='relu'),
Dense(10, activation='softmax')
])

# Compile the model


model.compile(optimizer='adam',loss='sparse_categorical_crossentropy',
metrics=['accuracy'])

19 | P a g e
22BQ1A6138

Benefits of Convolutions in Deep Learning


 Parameter Sharing: Reduces the number of parameters, making the model more efficient.

 Translation Invariance: Detects features regardless of their position in the image.

 *Hierarchical Feature Learning*: Captures low-level features in initial layers and high-
level features in deeper layers.

Conclusion

Convolutions are a powerful tool for feature extraction in both image processing and deep
learning. Understanding how they work and how to implement them is crucial for developing
effective computer vision models.

22BQ1A6138

Module 4: Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs)


Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs):

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are a class of deep neural networks particularly well-
suited for tasks involving images, such as image classification, object detection, and image
segmentation. They have revolutionized the field of computer vision by automatically
learning and extracting hierarchical features from images, reducing the need for manual
feature engineering.

Architecture of CNNs Convolutional


Layers
The core building blocks of CNNs are convolutional layers. Each convolutional layer consists
of multiple filters (also known as kernels) that slide across the input image, performing
convolution operations. Convolution involves element-wise multiplication of the filter weights
with the input pixels at each position and summing the results to produce feature maps.
These feature maps capture various patterns and features present in the input images,
such as edges, textures, and shapes.
Convolutional layers are characterized by parameters such as the number of filters, filter size
(width and height), stride, and padding. The number of filters determines the depth of the
output volume, controlling the number of features extracted. Stride refers to the number of
pixels the filter moves across the input image, influencing the spatial dimensions of the output
feature maps. Padding involves adding extra pixels around the input image to control the
output size and preserve spatial information.

Pooling Layers
Pooling layers are used to reduce the spatial dimensions of the feature maps while retaining
the most important information. The two most common types of pooling operations are max
pooling and average pooling. In max pooling, the maximum value within each pool (typically
a small window) is retained, while in average pooling, the average value is computed.
Pooling helps in controlling overfitting by reducing the number of parameters and
computational complexity of the network. It also provides translation invariance, making the
network less sensitive to small variations in the position of features within the input image.

Fully Connected Layers

After several convolutional and pooling layers, the extracted features are flattened and fed

21 | P a g e
22BQ1A6138
into one or more fully connected layers. These layers perform classification or regression
tasks based on the learned features. Fully connected layers connect every neuron in one layer
to every neuron in the next layer, enabling complex non-linear mappings between features
and output classes.
Activation functions like ReLU (Rectified Linear Unit) are typically applied after each layer
to introduce non-linearity in the network. ReLU replaces all negative values in the feature
maps with zero, allowing the network to learn complex decision boundaries and improve
training convergence.

Training CNNs

Convolutional Filters
During the training process, CNNs learn the parameters of convolutional filters through
backpropagation and gradient descent. These filters start as random weights and are optimized
to detect specific features present in the input images during training. Features learned in the
early layers are simple, like edges and textures, while deeper layers learn more complex
features like object parts and configurations.
The learning process involves minimizing a loss function, which measures the difference
between the predicted outputs and the ground truth labels. Optimization algorithms like
Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), Adam, or RMSprop are used to update the filter weights
iteratively, moving them towards values that minimize the loss.

22 | P a g e
22BQ1A6138

Data Augmentation
To prevent overfitting and improve generalization, data augmentation techniques are often
applied during training. These techniques involve randomly applying transformations such as
rotation, scaling, translation, and flipping to the input images, increasing the diversity of the
training data.
Data augmentation helps the model learn to generalize better to unseen examples and reduces
the risk of overfitting by exposing the network to a wider range of variations present in the
real-world data.

Transfer Learning
Transfer learning is a technique where pre-trained CNN models, trained on large datasets like
ImageNet, are fine-tuned for specific tasks. By leveraging the knowledge learned from these
large datasets, transfer learning can significantly reduce training time and the amount of
labeled data required for training.
In transfer learning, the pre-trained CNN model serves as a feature extractor, with its
convolutional layers frozen to preserve the learned representations. Additional layers, such
as fully connected layers, are added on top of the pre-trained model and trained on the target
task-specific dataset.

Applications of CNNs Image


Classification
One of the primary applications of CNNs is image classification, where the goal is to classify
images into predefined categories or labels. CNNs can automatically learn to distinguish between
different objects, animals, and scenes present in images with high accuracy. Applications
include identifying objects in photographs, classifying diseases from medical images, and
recognizing handwritten digits in postal codes.

Object Detection
CNNs can also perform object detection tasks, where the goal is to localize and classify
multiple objects within an image. Object detection involves drawing bounding boxes around
objects of interest and assigning class labels to each bounding box. Applications include
autonomous driving, surveillance systems, and counting objects in retail settings.

23 | P a g e
22BQ1A6138

Image Segmentation
Image segmentation involves partitioning an image into meaningful segments or regions.
CNNs can perform pixel-wise classification, assigning each pixel to a specific class or
category. This allows for more detailed analysis of images and precise localization of
objects. Applications include medical image analysis, autonomous robots, and scene
understanding.

Image Generation
CNNs can also generate new images based on learned patterns and features. Generative
models like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Variational Autoencoders (VAEs)
learn to generate realistic images by capturing the underlying distribution of the training data.
Applications include generating art, creating realistic avatars, and enhancing image quality.

Benefits of CNNs
Parameter Sharing
CNNs use parameter sharing to reduce the number of parameters and computational
complexity of the network. By sharing weights across spatial locations within the same
feature map, CNNs can learn translational invariance, making them robust to shifts and
translations in the input data.

Hierarchical Feature Learning


CNNs learn hierarchical representations of features, starting from simple low-level features
like edges and textures in the early layers to more complex high-level features like object
parts and configurations in the deeper layers. This hierarchical feature learning enables
CNNs to capture intricate patterns and relationships within images and achieve state-of-the-
art performance on various computer vision tasks.

Translation Invariance
CNNs exhibit translation invariance, meaning they can recognize features and objects
regardless of their position or orientation within the input image. This property makes CNNs
robust to small variations and distortions in the input data, enhancing their ability to
generalize to unseen examples and real-world scenarios.

24 | P a g e
22BQ1A6138

Conclusion

Convolutional Neural Networks have revolutionized the field of computer vision, enabling
machines to automatically learn and extract features from images. Their hierarchical
architecture, combined with data-driven learning, makes them powerful tools for a wide range
of image-related tasks, from image classification and object detection to image segmentation
and generation. As CNNs continue to evolve, they are expected to play an increasingly
significant role in various applications, driving innovation and advancements in computer
vision and artificial intelligence..

UNIT 2:Started With Object Detection

Understand object detection principles and its applications in image processing.


Choose a deep learning framework like TensorFlow or PyTorch for object detection tasks.
Prepare a labeled dataset with diverse images containing objects of interest.
Select an appropriate object detection model architecture, such as SSD or Faster R-
CNN. Train the chosen model on your dataset, adjusting parameters for optimal
performance. Evaluate the trained model's accuracy and deploy it for real-
world applications.

Module 1: Introduction to Object Detection


Object detection is a computer vision task that involves identifying and locating objects within
an image or video frame. Unlike image classification, which categorizes entire images into
predefined classes, object detection provides more detailed information by detecting multiple
objects and drawing bounding boxes around them. In this exploration, we delve into the
principles, techniques, applications, and challenges of object detection.

Principles of Object Detection


Localization
Object detection begins with localizing objects within an image, which involves determining
their spatial extent or position. This is typically represented by bounding boxes, which
enclose the objects' boundaries and indicate their locations.
Classification
Once objects are localized, they are classified into predefined categories or classes.
Classification assigns a label to each object, indicating what it is or what category it belongs
to. Common object categories include people, animals, vehicles, and everyday objects.

Detection
Object detection combines localization and classification to detect and identify multiple objects

within an image simultaneously. It involves predicting bounding boxes and class labels for all
objects present in the image, enabling comprehensive scene understanding.

33 | P a g e
22BQ1A6138

Techniques for Object Detection Traditional


Methods
Traditional object detection methods relied on handcrafted features, such as Histogram of
Oriented Gradients (HOG), Haar-like features, and Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT).
These methods often used sliding window approaches combined with machine learning
classifiers, such as Support Vector Machines (SVMs) or AdaBoost, to detect objects at
different scales and positions within an image.

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs)


Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have revolutionized object detection by
automatically learning hierarchical features from raw pixel data. CNN-based object detection
approaches typically involve two stages: region proposal and object classification. Region
proposal methods, such as Selective Search or Region Proposal Networks (RPNs), generate
candidate object bounding boxes, which are then classified and refined using CNN-based
classifiers.

Single Shot Detectors (SSDs)


Single Shot Detectors (SSDs) are one-stage object detection models that predict object bounding
boxes and class probabilities directly from feature maps. SSDs use a single CNN to perform both
region proposal and classification, making them fast and efficient. They achieve real-time
performance by predicting bounding box offsets and class scores at multiple scales and aspect
ratios within a single network.
34 | P a g e
22BQ1A6138

Faster R-CNN and its Variants


Faster R-CNN is a two-stage object detection framework that combines region proposal and
object classification into a single unified model. It uses a Region Proposal Network (RPN) to
generate candidate object proposals, which are then refined and classified by a CNN-based
classifier. Faster R-CNN achieves state-of-the-art performance by introducing region-based
convolutional networks and region-wise ROI (Region of Interest) pooling.

Applications of Object Detection


Autonomous Vehicles
Object detection plays a crucial role in autonomous vehicles, enabling them to perceive and
understand their surroundings. Object detection systems detect and classify vehicles,
pedestrians, cyclists, traffic signs, and other objects to inform decision-making processes such
as navigation, collision avoidance, and lane keeping.

Surveillance and Security


In surveillance and security systems, object detection is used to monitor and analyze video
feeds for suspicious activities, intrusions, or threats. Object detection algorithms can detect
and track people, vehicles, and objects of interest in real-time, alerting security personnel to
potential security breaches or anomalies.

Retail and Inventory Management


Object detection is employed in retail environments for inventory management, product
recognition, and customer behavior analysis. Retailers use object detection systems to track
products on shelves, monitor inventory levels, and analyze customer interactions to optimize
store layouts and marketing strategies.

Medical Imaging
In medical imaging, object detection aids in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases by detecting
and localizing anatomical structures, abnormalities, and pathologies. Object detection
algorithms analyze medical scans such as X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans to identify tumors,
lesions, fractures, and other medical conditions, assisting radiologists and clinicians in patient
care.

35 | P a g e
22BQ1A6138

Challenges in Object Detection


Scale Variation
Objects in images can vary significantly in scale, pose, orientation, and aspect ratio. Detecting
objects at different scales and accurately localizing them under scale variations is challenging
and requires robust feature representations and multi-scale analysis techniques.

Occlusions and Clutter


Objects in real-world scenes may be partially occluded by other objects or obscured by
cluttered backgrounds. Object detection algorithms must handle occlusions and clutter to
accurately detect and localize objects, distinguishing between foreground objects and
background noise.

Real-Time Performance
In applications requiring real-time processing, such as autonomous driving and surveillance
systems, object detection algorithms must operate with low latency and high throughput.
Achieving real-time performance while maintaining accuracy and reliability is a significant
challenge that requires efficient algorithms and hardware acceleration.

Data Annotation and Labeling


Annotating training data with accurate bounding box annotations and class labels is labor-
intensive and time-consuming. Manual annotation efforts may require expert annotators or
crowdsourcing platforms, introducing potential errors and inconsistencies in the labeled data.

Conclusion
Object detection is a fundamental computer vision task that involves identifying and locating
objects within images or video frames. With the advent of deep learning and convolutional
neural networks, object detection has seen significant advancements, enabling real-time
performance and state-of-the-art accuracy on various applications ranging from autonomous
vehicles to medical imaging. Despite challenges such as scale variation, occlusions, and real-
time processing requirements, object detection continues to drive innovation and impact
diverse domains, shaping the future of computer vision and artificial intelligence.

Module 1: Introduction to product image search on mobile

Product image search on mobile devices revolutionizes the way users interact with e-
commerce platforms by allowing them to search for products using images instead of
traditional text queries. This innovative technology leverages computer vision and machine
learning to identify and match products in images to a database of products. This guide
provides an introduction to the concept, the underlying technologies, and practical steps to
implement a product image search feature in a mobile application.

Understanding Product Image Search


What is Product Image Search?
Product image search is a technology that enables users to take a photo of a product or upload
an image, and the system identifies and retrieves similar products from a database. This type
of search is particularly useful for e-commerce platforms, as it enhances the shopping
experience by allowing users to search for products visually, which is more intuitive and user-
friendly.

Why Use Product Image Search?


 Improved User Experience: Users can easily find products by taking a picture, bypassing

the need to describe the item in words.

58 | P a g e
22BQ1A6138

 Increased Engagement: Visual search can lead to higher user engagement and conversion
rates.
 *Accessibility*: It provides an accessible way for users who may have difficulty with
text- based searches.
 *Competitive Edge*: Implementing advanced search functionalities can give e-commerce
platforms a competitive advantage.

Technologies Behind Product Image Search

Computer Vision
Computer vision is a field of artificial intelligence that trains computers to interpret and
understand the visual world. Using digital images from cameras and videos and deep learning
models, machines can accurately identify and classify objects.

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs)


CNNs are a type of deep learning model particularly effective for image recognition tasks.
They are designed to automatically and adaptively learn spatial hierarchies of features from
input images.

59 | P a g e
22BQ1A6138

Feature Extraction
Feature extraction involves identifying key features of an image that can be used to
distinguish different objects. In product image search, features such as edges, textures, and
shapes are extracted and compared against a database of product images.

Image Matching
Image matching involves comparing the features extracted from the query image with those in
the product database. This process identifies the most similar products based on visual
similarity.

Implementing Product Image Search on Mobile Setting Up


the Development Environment
To implement product image search, you'll need a development environment with the following

tools:

 *TensorFlow Lite*: A lightweight version of TensorFlow designed for mobile and


embedded devices.
 *Firebase*: For storing and managing the product image database.

 *Android Studio/Xcode*: For developing mobile applications on Android and iOS.

Building the Model

 Data Collection: Collect a dataset of product images. Ensure the dataset is diverse and
representative of the products you want to search.
 Model Training: Train a CNN model using TensorFlow to recognize and classify the
products. Pre-trained models like MobileNet can be fine-tuned with your dataset.
 Model Optimization: Convert and optimize the trained model for mobile using
TensorFlow Lite.

import tensorflow as tf

# Load the trained model

model = tf.keras.models.load_model('path/to/your_model.h5')

# Convert the model to TensorFlow Lite

converter =
tf.lite.TFLiteConverter.from_keras_model(model)
tflite_model = converter.convert()
# Save the model

With open('model.tflite','wb') as f:
f.write(tflite_model)

Integrating the Model into a Mobile App


 Loading the Model: Load the TensorFlow Lite model in your mobile application.
java

// Android example

Interpreter tflite = new Interpreter(loadModelFile());

private MappedByteBuffer loadModelFile() throws IOException {


AssetFileDescriptor fileDescriptor = this.getAssets().openFd("model.tflite");
FileInputStream inputStream = new
FileInputStream(fileDescriptor.getFileDescriptor()); FileChannel fileChannel =
inputStream.getChannel();
long startOffset = fileDescriptor.getStartOffset();

long declaredLength = fileDescriptor.getDeclaredLength();

return fileChannel.map(FileChannel.MapMode.READ_ONLY, startOffset, declaredLength);

}
 Preprocessing Images: Preprocess the input image to match the input requirements of the
model (e.g., resizing, normalization).
java

// Example for resizing and normalizing an image

Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inputStream);

Bitmap resizedBitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bitmap, 224, 224,

61 | P a g e
true); TensorImage inputImageBuffer = new
TensorImage(DataType.FLOAT32);
inputImageBuffer.load(resizedBitmap);

62 | P a g e
22BQ1A6138

 Running Inference: Pass the preprocessed image to the model and get the output. java

// Running inference

float[][] output = new float[1][10]; // Adjust based on your model's output


shape tflite.run(inputImageBuffer.getBuffer(), output);

 Postprocessing Results: Postprocess the output to identify and retrieve the most similar
products from the database.
java

// Example of interpreting the output

List<Product> similarProducts = getSimilarProducts(output);

Integrating with Firebase


Use Firebase to store and manage your product image database. Firebase's real-time database
and Firestore can be used to store product metadata and images. Firebase Cloud Storage can
handle the storage of the product images.
 Uploading Product Images: Upload your product images to Firebase Cloud Storage.
java

StorageReference storageRef = FirebaseStorage.getInstance().getReference();


StorageReference imagesRef = storageRef.child("images/product_image.jpg");
imagesRef.putFile(imageUri)

.addOnSuccessListener(taskSnapshot -> {

// Image uploaded successfully

})

.addOnFailureListener(exception -> {

// Handle unsuccessful uploads

});

63 | P a g e
22BQ1A6138

 Retrieving Product Metadata: Query Firebase Firestore to retrieve product metadata based
on the results from the image search model.
java

FirebaseFirestore db = FirebaseFirestore.getInstance();
db.collection("products")
.whereEqualTo("product_id", productId)

.get()

.addOnCompleteListener(task -> {
if (task.isSuccessful()) {
for (QueryDocumentSnapshot document : task.getResult()) {
Product product = document.toObject(Product.class);
// Display or process the product

} else {

// Handle error

});

Conclusion
Product image search on mobile devices provides an intuitive and efficient way for users to
find products using images. By leveraging computer vision, deep learning, and tools like
TensorFlow Lite and Firebase, developers can create powerful and responsive product image
search functionalities. This guide provides a comprehensive overview and practical steps to

Module 4: Object detection: Static Images
Object detection is a critical technology in computer vision, allowing the identification and
localization of objects within an image. It has a wide range of applications including security,
autonomous vehicles, healthcare, and retail. This document provides an overview of the
fundamental concepts, popular methods, and practical implementation strategies for object
detection in static images.
Key Concepts

Object Detection vs. Image Classification:


Image Classification: Assigns a label to an entire image.

Object Detection: Identifies and localizes objects within an image, typically outputting
bounding boxes and class labels.
Bounding Boxes: Rectangular boxes used to specify the location of objects within an image.
Each bounding box is defined by its coordinates (x, y) of the top-left corner, width, and
height.
Intersection over Union (IoU): A metric used to evaluate the accuracy of an object detector. It
measures the overlap between the predicted bounding box and the ground truth.

Confidence Score: A probability score indicating the likelihood that a detected object belongs
to a particular class.

Popular Object Detection Methods


Traditional Methods:
Haar Cascades: Early method using Haar-like features and a cascade of classifiers for
face detection and other tasks. It’s less effective for complex objects.

Deep Learning-Based Methods:


R-CNN (Region-based Convolutional Neural Networks):
R-CNN: Extracts region proposals and classifies them using CNNs. Accurate but slow due
to multiple stages.
Fast R-CNN: Improves speed by sharing convolutional features and using ROI pooling.
Faster R-CNN: Introduces Region Proposal Networks (RPN) for generating region
proposals, significantly boosting speed and accuracy.
YOLO (You Only Look Once):
Divides the image into a grid and predicts bounding boxes and class probabilities for each grid cell.
Known for real-time performance. Variants like YOLOv3 and YOLOv4 offer improvements

78 | P a g e
in speed and accuracy.

22BQ1A6138

SSD (Single Shot MultiBox Detector):


Detects objects in images using a single deep neural network, eliminating region proposal
steps. Balances speed and accuracy well.

EfficientDet:
Uses a compound scaling method to optimize both network width and depth, achieving
state-of-the-art accuracy with efficient use of resources.
Practical Implementation

Choosing a Framework:
Popular frameworks include TensorFlow, PyTorch, and OpenCV. TensorFlow
provides TensorFlow Object Detection API, while PyTorch offers torchvision.

Model Selection:
Pre-trained models like YOLOv3, SSD, and Faster R-CNN are available and can be
fine- tuned on specific datasets.

Dataset Preparation:
Annotate images with bounding boxes and labels using tools like LabelImg or VoTT. Split the
dataset into training and validation sets.

Training and Fine-tuning:


Load a pre-trained model and fine-tune it on the prepared dataset. This process involves
adjusting hyperparameters like learning rate, batch size, and the number of epochs.

Inference:
Use the trained model to perform object detection on new images. This involves processing
the image, running the model, and interpreting the output.

79 | P a g e
22BQ1A6138

Example Code

Here’s a simplified example of using YOLOv3 with OpenCV in Python for object detection:

import cv2
import numpy as np
# Load YOLO model
net = cv2.dnn.readNet("yolov3.weights", "yolov3.cfg") layer_names = net.getLayerNames()
output_layers = [layer_names[i[0] - 1] for i in net.getUnconnectedOutLayers()]
image = cv2.imread("image.jpg") height, width = image.shape[:2]
# Prepare input blob

blob = cv2.dnn.blobFromImage(image, 0.00392, (416, 416), swapRB=True, crop=False)


net.setInput(blob)
# Run forward pass

outputs = net.forward(output_layers)

80 | P a g e
22BQ1A6138

# Process detections
boxes, confidences, class_ids = [], [], []
for output in outputs:
for detection in output:
scores = detection[5:]
class_id = np.argmax(scores)
confidence = scores[class_id]
if confidence > 0.5:
center_x, center_y = int(detection[0] * width), int(detection[1] * height)
w, h = int(detection[2] * width), int(detection[3] * height)
x, y = center_x - w // 2, center_y - h // 2
boxes.append([x, y, w, h])
confidences.append(float(confidence))
class_ids.append(class_id)

# Apply non-max suppression


indices = cv2.dnn.NMSBoxes(boxes, confidences, 0.5,
0.4) for i in indices:
i = i[0]
x, y, w, h = boxes[i]
cv2.rectangle(image, (x, y), (x + w, y + h), (0, 255, 0), 2)
label = str(classes[class_ids[i]])
cv2.putText(image, label, (x, y - 10), cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX, 0.5, (0, 255, 0), 2)

# Show image
cv2.imshow("Image", image)
cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
Challenges and Considerations
Performance: Balancing accuracy and speed is crucial. Models like YOLO offer real-time
performance but may sacrifice some accuracy compared to more complex models like
Faster R-CNN.
Dataset Quality: High-quality, annotated datasets are essential for training accurate object
detection models.
Hardware Requirements: Training deep learning models can be resource-intensive, often
requiring GPUs for feasible training times.

Object detection with a live camera stream is a dynamic and real-time computer vision task
that identifies and locates objects within each frame of the video. This technology has
applications in security surveillance, autonomous vehicles, augmented reality, and
interactive gaming.

Key Concepts
Real-Time Processing: Unlike static image detection, live camera object detection processes a
continuous stream of frames, requiring efficient algorithms to maintain high frame rates.
Frame Rate: The speed at which the system processes video frames, typically measured in
frames per second (FPS). Higher FPS ensures smoother and more real-time detection.
Latency: The delay between capturing the frame and displaying the detection results.
Minimizing latency is crucial for real-time applications.
Popular Object Detection Models for Live
Camera YOLO (You Only Look Once):

Fast and efficient, suitable for real-time object detection.


Processes the entire image in one go, balancing speed and accuracy.
SSD (Single Shot MultiBox Detector):

Detects objects in a single pass through the network.


Provides a good trade-off between speed and accuracy, making it ideal for real-time
applications.
MobileNet-SSD:

Lightweight version of SSD, optimized for mobile and embedded devices.


Reduces computational load, allowing for real-time detection on resource-constrained
hardware.
TensorFlow Lite and PyTorch Mobile:

Frameworks optimized for deploying deep learning models on mobile and edge devices.
Support quantization and acceleration to enhance performance.
Practical Implementation

Hardware Setup:

Use a camera (e.g., webcam, smartphone camera) to capture the video stream.
Ensure a capable processor or GPU to handle real-time processing.
83 | P a g e

Software Requirements:
Install libraries like OpenCV for video capture and display.
Use TensorFlow, PyTorch, or another deep learning framework for running the object
detection model.

Real-Time Object Detection Pipeline:

Capture Frame: Continuously capture frames from the live camera. Preprocess
Frame: Resize, normalize, and prepare the frame for model input. Run Detection:
Pass the frame through the object detection model.
Post-process Results: Extract and filter detection results (bounding boxes, class labels,
confidence scores).
Display Results: Overlay bounding boxes and labels on the frame and display the output.
Example Code

84 | P a g e
22BQ1A6138

Here’s an example using YOLO with OpenCV and a live webcam feed in Python:

python
import
cv2
import numpy as np

# Load YOLO model


net = cv2.dnn.readNet("yolov3.weights",
"yolov3.cfg") layer_names = net.getLayerNames()
output_layers = [layer_names[i[0] - 1] for i in net.getUnconnectedOutLayers()]
classes = open("coco.names").read().strip().split("\n")

# Initialize webcam
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

while True:
ret, frame = cap.read()
height, width = frame.shape[:2]

# Preprocess frame
blob = cv2.dnn.blobFromImage(frame, 0.00392, (416, 416), swapRB=True, crop=False)
net.setInput(blob)

# Run forward pass


outputs = net.forward(output_layers)

# Initialize lists for detected objects


boxes, confidences, class_ids = [], [], []

# Process detections
for output in outputs:
for detection in output:
scores = detection[5:]
class_id = np.argmax(scores)
confidence = scores[class_id]
if confidence > 0.5:
center_x, center_y = int(detection[0] * width), int(detection[1] * height)
85 | P a g e
22BQ1A6138

w, h = int(detection[2] * width), int(detection[3] *


height) x, y = center_x - w // 2, center_y - h // 2
boxes.append([x, y, w, h])
confidences.append(float(confidence))
class_ids.append(class_id)

# Apply non-max suppression


indices = cv2.dnn.NMSBoxes(boxes, confidences, 0.5,
0.4) for i in indices:
i = i[0]
x, y, w, h = boxes[i]
label = str(classes[class_ids[i]])
cv2.rectangle(frame, (x, y), (x + w, y + h), (0, 255, 0), 2)
cv2.putText(frame, label, (x, y - 10), cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX, 0.5, (0, 255, 0),
2)

# Display frame
cv2.imshow("Live Camera", frame)

# Break loop on 'q' key press


if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF ==
ord('q'): break

# Release resources
cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows
() Enhancements
Optimization:

Model Quantization: Reduce model size and increase inference speed by quantizing the
model to lower precision (e.g., INT8).
Hardware Acceleration: Utilize GPUs or specialized hardware like TPUs for
faster processing.
Multi-Threading:
Implement multi-threading to separate frame capturing, processing, and displaying, reducing
latency and improving FPS.
22BQ1A6138
86 | P a g e
Edge Computing:
Deploy models on edge devices (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson, Google Coral) for real-time detection
without relying on cloud resources.

Challenges and Considerations

Performance: Maintaining high FPS while ensuring accurate detections requires balancing
computational load and model complexity.
Lighting and Motion: Variations in lighting and rapid object movement can affect detection
accuracy. Implementing adaptive thresholding and motion stabilization can mitigate these
issues.

Scalability: Handling multiple camera streams or higher resolution frames requires scalable
solutions and more powerful hardware.

Conclusion
Real-time object detection with a live camera involves capturing video frames, processing
them through efficient object detection models, and displaying results instantly. Using
models like YOLO or SSD and optimizing them for performance is key to achieving smooth
and accurate detections. With advancements in hardware and software, implementing real-
time object detection has become increasingly feasible, opening up numerous practical
applications.

Module 2: Create a Custom model for your image classifier


Overview
Building a custom image classifier involves several key steps: collecting and preprocessing data,
designing and training the model, and evaluating its performance. This guide will cover these steps using
TensorFlow and Keras, popular frameworks for deep learning.

Step 1: Data Collection

1. Gather Data:
- Collect a diverse and representative dataset for your classification task. Public datasets like
CIFAR- 10, ImageNet, or custom datasets specific to your problem can be used.
- Ensure the dataset is well-labeled and contains enough samples for each class to avoid bias.

2. Organize Data:
- Split the dataset into training, validation, and test sets. A common split ratio is 70% training,
20% validation, and 10% test.
python
importos
import shutil
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

def split_dataset(data_dir, output_dir, split_ratio=(0.7, 0.2, 0.1)):


class_names = os.listdir(data_dir)
for class_name in class_names:
class_path = os.path.join(data_dir, class_name)
images = os.listdir(class_path)
114 | P a g
22BQ1A6138
train, temp = train_test_split(images, test_size=1 - split_ratio[0])

115 | P a g
22BQ1A6138

it_ratio[1] + split_ratio[2]))
for split, split_name in zip([train, val, test], ['train', 'val',
'test']): split_dir = os.path.join(output_dir, split_name,
class_name) os.makedirs(split_dir, exist_ok=True)
for img in split:
shutil.copy(os.path.join(class_path, img), split_dir)
split_dataset('path/to/data', 'path/to/output')

Step 2: Data Preprocessing

1. Load and Augment Data:


- Use ImageDataGenerator from Keras for data augmentation to increase the diversity of your
training set.
python
from tensorflow.keras.preprocessing.image import ImageDataGenerator train_datagen =
ImageDataGenerator( rescale=1./255,
rotation_range=40,
width_shift_range=0.2,
height_shift_range=0.2,
shear_range=0.2,
zoom_range=0.2,
horizontal_flip=True,
fill_mode='nearest'
)
val_datagen = ImageDataGenerator(rescale=1./255)
train_generator = train_datagen.flow_from_directory(
'path/to/output/train',
target_size=(150, 150),
batch_size=32,
class_mode='categorical'
)
val_generator = val_datagen.flow_from_directory(
'path/to/output/val',
target_size=(150, 150),
batch_size=32,
class_mode='categorical
116 | P a g
22BQ1A6138
)

117 | P a g
22BQ1A6138
Step 3: Model Design
Define the Model:
Create a CNN architecture using Keras. For instance, you can use a simple sequential model or a
more complex architecture with multiple convolutional and pooling layers.

python
from tensorflow.keras.models import Sequential
from tensorflow.keras.layers import Conv2D, MaxPooling2D, Flatten, Dense, Dropout
model = Sequential([
Conv2D(32, (3, 3), activation='relu', input_shape=(150, 150, 3)),
MaxPooling2D(2, 2),
Conv2D(64, (3, 3), activation='relu'),
MaxPooling2D(2, 2),
Conv2D(128, (3, 3), activation='relu'),
MaxPooling2D(2,
2), Flatten(),
Dense(512, activation='relu'),
Dropout(0.5),
Dense(len(class_names), activation='softmax')
])

Compile the Model:


- Compile the model with appropriate loss function, optimizer, and metrics.
python
model.compile
(
loss='categorical_crossentropy',
optimizer='adam',
metrics=['accuracy'])
Step 4: Model Training

 Train the Model:


Train the model using the training and validation generators.
history =
model.fit( train_
generator,

118 | P a g
22BQ1A6138
steps_per_epoch=train_generator.samples // train_generator.batch_size,
epochs=25,
validation_data=val_generator,
validation_steps=val_generator.samples // val_generator.batch_size
)

Save the Model:


- Save the trained model for future use.
python
model.save('flower_classifier.h5'
)

Step 5: Model Evaluation

Evaluate on Test Data:


Evaluate the model's performance using the test dataset.
Python
test_generator = val_datagen.flow_from_directory( 'path/to/output/test',
target_size=(150, 150), batch_size=32, class_mode='categorical')
test_loss, test_accuracy = model.evaluate(test_generator, steps=test_generator.samples //
test_generator.batch_size)
print(f'Test accuracy: {test_accuracy}')

 Visualize Training:
Plot the training and validation accuracy and loss over epochs to check for overfitting.
Python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
acc=history.history['accuracy']
val_acc=history.history['val_accuracy']
loss= history.history['loss']
val_loss = history.history['val_loss']
epochs=range(len(acc))
plt.figure(figsize=(12, 8))
plt.subplot(1, 2, 1)
plt.plot(epochs,acc,'b',label='Trainingaccuracy')
plt.plot(epochs,val_acc,'r',label='Validationaccuracy')
plt.title('Training and validation accuracy')
plt.legend()
119 | P a g
22BQ1A6138
plt.subplot(1, 2, 2)
plt.plot(epochs,loss,'b',label='Trainingloss')
plt.plot(epochs,val_loss,'r',label='Validationloss')
plt.title('Training and validation loss')
plt.legend()
plt.show()
